However, in control group 100.00% had maladaptive behaviourscore both in pretest and post-test. In experimental group 46.67% had poor academic performance score in pretest and in post-test 86.67% had good academic performance score. However, in control group 53.33% had poor academic performance score in pretest and in post-test 54.33% had poor academic performancescore.
